The gamepad is a perfect solution for my control I've had success reading a Nintendo 64 controller using an F84 and one pin. I have the source code at: http://www.cal.shaw.wave.ca/~kff/GB/KenKaarvik/N64toGB.html The code is written to interface an N64 controller to a GameBoy but a couple of changes and you could do anything. The code may look like overkill but hey it works. Ken Kaarvik kkaarvik@axion.net
